Deadpool – Review
I finally got around to watching Deadpool. My thoughts? That was two hours of my life I will never get back. I’m only thankful that I watched it on Netflix for free and never spent money on it.
Seriously, I just don’t understand why it was such a hit. To be completely honest, I actually enjoyed the most recent Fantastic Four movie more than I did Deadpool.
My only thoughts regarding the success of this movie is that people were amused by its R rating and their willingness to be far cruder than any other comic book movie. It was a novelty.
I will admit that the language and other raunchy parts of the movie made me less likely to appreciate it. But even if it was cleaned up, there really wasn’t much of a story. It was just a bad movie.
I did like Colossus in this movie. He was always one of my favourite X-Men and it is too bad that they did not make much of him in the movies. I thought he was pretty fun here.
I know that they are making a sequel and they will try to make it even cruder. It will also likely be a big hit. I doubt I will enjoy it any more. Hopefully this is not the future of comic book movies.
